Our Favourites
Originally a post-town during the Edo Period, Saijo has grown into one of the main “Sake Capitals” of Japan.The climate and water of this area allow for the production of excellent sake of the highest quality. To this day, seven breweries in the town continue to produce their sake using traditional techniques
A bit further east of Saijo, one can find the picturesque city of Onomichi. The temples, hills and stone paths around the city create the beautiful scenery which has bestowed Onomichi the title of “miniature garden.” This location is not only beautiful, but also rich in history and culture. Within, one can visit famous temples such as Senkoji and Saikokuji
